They were married in 1952 and together they raised two loving children and lived life to the fullest. To all of Stan's friends and associates from the Lacrosse team, Winnipeg Aquarium Society and The Royal Canadian Navy Reserves he bids adieu. He worked at Air Canada for 37 years and took early retirement to spend more time at the pet store. To his customers of 40 years of Tropicana Pet Store business we thank you. Stan also had a love for gardening and loved to show it off; they showed their yard in the Gardening Tours every summer. He enjoyed fishing, golfing, and playing pool; he got the nickname Mr. Hook .
